It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 11 Let you control the beast, but not the beast
Kan Mansion.

"Open the government?"

Upon hearing the news, both the Kan family and grandson were a little confused.

They looked at each other and saw the seriousness in the other's eyes.

They had been discussing Zhao Ci's affairs just now. They combined the scene early in the morning with Zhao Ci's subsequent performance, and could almost conclude that this time it was Zhao Ci and Zhao Huan who teamed up to deceive the Kan family into getting married. .

So we discussed it to see if there was any way to break off the engagement.

As a result, after much thought, there were only two possibilities.

Or, fight hard with the emperor.

Or, Zhao Ci takes the initiative to break off the engagement.

But it's obviously not realistic.

But they were so worried that they could only take a step back temporarily. Assuming that the marriage could not be changed, they first discussed how to save themselves under the premise of getting married. While protecting themselves wisely, they also rescued Zhao Ci from the quagmire of the crown prince and the fourth prince competing for the throne. .

As a result, even the eyebrows have not been discussed yet.

Zhao Ci opened his mansion!

What's the difference between this and jumping into the quagmire?
"Kaifu? What happened to Kaifu?"

Zhu Li's eyes were full of curiosity: "I often hear this word. Is it a good word or a bad word?"

Seeing her eagerness for knowledge, Kan Luotang couldn't help but feel helpless and gave her a brief summary of the pros and cons of opening a mansion.

Zhu Li was a little annoyed when he heard this: "Aren't you leading the Kan family to jump into the fire pit? Could it be that Zhao Ci is confused by His Majesty's favor and really wants to seize the crown prince's position?"

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other and felt a little headache.

This situation is really not impossible.

Too many things happened today. The Kan Mansion had never been involved in troubled waters, but it was deceived by the emperor into getting married, and then turned around and asked Zhao Ci to open the mansion.

Maybe the emperor really had the idea of ​​making Zhao Ci the crown prince.

after all……

Kan Tianji had met Concubine Jing once before, and her alluring face could really make the elderly Zhao Huan dizzy.

But the question is... is Zhao Ci that material?

Everyone is very realistic. Apart from his bad friends, who will play with him with his own future?

Kan Tianji was depressed. The Kan family was a single generation, and only Kan Luotang was left. He really didn't dare to take risks!
"No! This is not right!"

Zhu Li suddenly frowned.

Kan Luotang asked: "What's wrong?"

Zhu Li's eyes shone with wisdom: "Do you think Zhao Ci is like those storytellers under the overpass, pretending to be mediocre all these years in order to become so powerful now?"

Kan Luotang rubbed his temples: "Why does he pretend to be weak?"

Zhu Li said matter-of-factly: "Of course it's to avoid others' jealousy!"

Kan Luotang asked again: "Did he avoid it?"

"Ah, this..."

"Then he has not soared until now. Did he encounter some opportunity?"

"Ah this..."

Zhu Li was choked and looked at Kan Tianji unwillingly: "Grandpa Kan, don't you know how to tell fortunes? You tell Zhao Ci's fortune and see if what I said is correct."

Kan Tianji's beard trembled: "I only occupy the sky, the country, and the weather, and I don't do it through pretense!"

If fate was really so easy to predict, he would have stopped his son 18 years ago and not allowed him to follow Xiang Tiange into the battlefield.

Otherwise, Kan Luotang would not have been born without a father.

The father insisted on hanging out with Xiang Tiange, but in the end he disappeared.

The daughter was promised to Xiang Tiange's nephew, and the situation was a bit scary.

Kan Luotang comforted him softly: "Grandpa! Actually, there is no need to be too impatient. I think... Zhao Ci may not be an unreasonable person. He said he would come to Kan's house tonight. We will discuss it with him. We may not be able to persuade him to know. return."

Kan Tianji nodded: "This is the only way!"

……

Ten palaces.

Zhao Ci looked at the newly arrived Gong Fu and showed a satisfied smile.

Treasures of the World Huang Dudu.

Although his emotional intelligence is a bit low, he is actually a really nice person.

Zhao Ci was in a good mood. He gained a lot from this trip to the imperial study.

Opening a mansion was his deliberate choice.

If you want to collect enough points, you can't just rely on yourself to make wishes.

Large-scale wishes can be met but cannot be obtained, so we must open up a quantitative approach and try to complete homogeneous low-level wishes in batches.

Zhao Ci has no specific plan for the time being, but in this process, power is essential, so he must choose to open a mansion.

Also.

The achievements he gained after opening the mansion were also necessary for him to obtain advanced cultivation resources.

Besides.

He also confirmed the general relationship between Zhao Huan and Gu Xiangzhu. Zhao Huan knew Gu Xiangzhu's identity as a demon sect, but still delegated power, indicating that the two parties must have reached some cooperation. However, looking at Lao Deng's wishes, the two parties seemed to be somewhat incompatible with each other.

There may be a lot of room for manipulation in this relationship, and there should be opportunities in the future.

"The most urgent task now is to think about how to recruit officials and make achievements!"

Zhao Ci rubbed his eyebrows. The process of opening the mansion went smoothly, but it was still difficult after opening the mansion.

He is well aware of his problems.

After being a loser for 17 years, no one would want to hang out with me.

Unless you prove to them that you can get merit by following you. "Achievements?"

Zhao Ci took out a thick booklet from his arms. This was what Zhao Huan had given him in the royal study just now. It was a printed book from the Zongren Mansion, which summarized the tasks registered by the four ministries of work, punishment, military, and household.

This is the source of his achievements after opening the mansion.

Zhao Ci glanced through it briefly and found that most of it contained regular tasks from the fourth department.

The Ministry of Industry is responsible for building bridges and paving roads, the Ministry of Justice is responsible for investigating crimes and arrests, the Ministry of War is responsible for border defense against enemies, and the Ministry of Revenue is responsible for everything that is beneficial to the national finances.

It doesn't seem to be easy.

Building bridges, paving roads, casting, etc. are all technical jobs. Zhao Ci did not study engineering in his previous life and was not good at these.

Investigating cases and apprehending... This is good. I can see other people's wishes clearly, which should play a big role. However, my cultivation level is too low now. If I don't have enough protection, there will be any accidents, so I have to put it aside for the time being.

The Ministry of War is even more dangerous. Those who dare to stay on the border to earn merit are all first-class fierce men. Zhao Ci will never consider it until his strength increases.

"So the main focus in the early stage is to make money?"

Zhao Ci pinched his chin and wondered, isn't this the strength of a time traveler?
But after carefully looking through the tasks corresponding to the household department and checking the corresponding information, he was dumbfounded.

Sugar soap, the world already has it.

Simple distillation is also available, and there are spirits above [-] degrees on the market. Even if you brew higher-altitude wine yourself, it doesn't mean much.

There are also looms and so on, but the proportion of manual participation is relatively large.

"Steam engine?"

Zhao Ci quickly rejected the idea, and Kaifu only recorded three years of achievements.

My understanding of steam engines is limited to high school textbooks. Let alone making profits within three years, whether it can be used in production is a big problem.

Moreover, this thing requires the support of a large number of technical workers, which will be counted as labor costs by the clan government, and only after deduction can it be considered as one's own merit.

Unless you can quickly recover your capital and make a profit, you may even be short of credit.

Difficult!

I'm afraid it won't work for civil production.

Other major items in the household department are closely related to alchemy, weapon refining, beast control, etc. In these fields, the wealthy families are going crazy, and the royal family really wants to take a bite of fat.

Otherwise, Zhao Huan and Gu Xiangzhu would not have been so worried about the Danfang incident recently.

But Zhao Ci has just started practicing now, how can he possibly make breakthroughs in these high-tech fields?
"Hiss...it's a bit hard to bear!"

Zhao Ci scratched his head crazily: "Is it really the only way to take the risk and take the criminal investigation route? Those are all serious criminals. Can my thin arms and legs be able to withstand it?"

For the whole afternoon, Zhao Ci was looking for a breakthrough, but as expected, he failed.

He was not discouraged either.

After taking a look at the sky, he went out.

He needs to open up his mind, at least communicate with others first, and by the way... invite a teammate to his house.

……

In front of the gate of Feng Mansion.

Zhao Ci cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, please inform your young master..."

The porter hurriedly said: "The young master has told me that when your highness comes, just go in directly. I will show you the way!"

Zhao Ci smiled slightly and followed.

The person he is looking for is his best brother, Feng Kucha, the youngest son of the head of the Feng family in Yingchuan.

This dear friend and I are both known as the Wolong Fengxiao of Linge's waste world. The two of them got to know each other because they were playing dogs and walking birds.

Because he really likes teasing dogs and walking birds, and the Feng family happens to be a beast-controlling family. Although Feng Kucha has poor cultivation, he still has some talent in beast control, so Zhao Ci often asks him for advice, and they form a bond over time. A deep friendship.

Feng Kucha is also very useless, but he is quite knowledgeable and should be able to provide a lot of ideas.

soon.

Zhao Ci was taken to the small courtyard where Feng Kucha lived.

I looked around, but didn't see Feng Kucha.

The concierge said apologetically: "Your Highness, wait a moment, the young master is practicing beast control."

Zhao Ci was a little surprised: "Eh? He has been working so hard recently?"

The concierge grinned: "Young Master, he... is always working hard!"

Zhao Ci nodded, Xianyu always has the dream of turning over, so you can't laugh at them for this.

So, I sat and waited quietly.

After waiting for about half an hour, it was getting dark.

Zhao Ci couldn't help but feel a little irritated, feeling that Feng Kucha was a little too hard.

At this moment.

"Boom!"

The door to the practice room was knocked open.

A woman with cat paws and a cat tail, but with a human body and appearance, escaped in a hurry with chains, and was completely naked except for the areas where she had not yet completely transformed, which were covered with fur.

The appearance is average, not top-notch.

But it looks burnt.

The cat lady burst into tears and said in a panic: "Master Feng! Stop the cow quickly, the slave family can't bear it anymore."

A shirtless young man came out with an angry look on his face: "When you goblin harms people, you never say you can't stand it. Come back soon, I'm going to slay the goblin hard... Huh? Zhao Ci, why are you here?" "

Feng Kucha's expression froze and he quickly lifted up his pants.

The corner of Zhao Ci's mouth twitched: "You told me that you were controlling the beast, but it turned out that you were controlling the beast?"

Feng Kucha: "..."
